Revelations (1:1-20) Lesson 3: The Exalted Christ Revealed

Revelation 1 is an entirely new depiction of Christ than we last saw Him. Jesus meek and mild? Hanging on the Cross despised and forsaken? No, Here is Jesus who overcame and conquered death and hell for all the Redeemed Ones of God. Here is Christ terrifying and awe-inspiring, declaring that He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. The One who was, and is, and is to come, who not only controls our destiny but is the only One, God Almighty, who has absolute power to leads us into a glorious future of worship and purpose in His Kingdom. Listen in and discover why the John's vision sees this Jesus standing among the candlestands among the lights speaking to the Seven Churches. God wants people to know His heart before we see His face. I. [1:1-8] The Intercession of Christ, Ruler of All things P: God’s work was started on the Cross, through the Resurrection, and proceeds into great Glory. II. [1:9-20] The Intervention of the Great High Priest Jesus who mobilizes His Church P: A right view of Jesus leads to a lifetime of worshipful obedience. He is “working” and therefore we must be “working” alongside Him.
